Lord Hanaur Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 So i played my 750 point Sisters of Battle against the nasty spawning pools of Brians Tyranids. Game was super interesting. My list: 135pts St. Celestine 134pts 7 Sisters of Battle (Veteran Sister Superior w Melta Bomb + Power Maul, 1 x Meltagun, 1 x Heavy Flamer) 40pts Rhino 129pts 7 Sisters of Battle (Veteran Sister Superior w Melta Bomb + Power Maul, 1 x Meltagun, 1 x Flamer) 40pts Rhino 135pts Exorcist 135pts Exorcist His list: Original 500: Tryant w/ wings, 2x TL Devourer, E-grubs Lictor Venomthrope 3x Rippers w/ Deep Strike 3x Rippers w/ Deep Strike 5x Genestealers Additional 250: Tervigon w/ E Shock Grubs and Cluster Spines 1x Biovore He deployed first so that he could go second hoping, I am sure, to net both First Blood and Last Blood (the special 2 point objectives for this mission). Plus he just likes to see what I'm going to do. So his Venomthrope, Tervigon, and Tyrant started in a ruin. I deployed the exorcists far from him. He decided to go second. Rnd 1: The Exorcists let loose and their guns were angry. They hit unerringly but the ruins and the Venomthrope protected the Tyrant, allowing me to land only one wound on it. The Tyrant responded, streaking towards the Adepta Sororitas battle tanks. The Tervigon let loose 10 of its progeny from the pulsing sac below its maw. The three objectives were in the middle and its spawn were not far from my westernmost objective. Rnd 2 St. Celestine broke from the clouds, alighted and burninated a pair of the foul spawn as if to say "not today". Behind her to the southwest rode an Adepta Sororitas Rhino filld with eager and faihful ladies of the Emperor. The Exorcists shifted forward along the eastern board edge and fired, wounding the Tyrant again, though it managed to stay aloft. Their fusillade was truly something to fear. The angered Hive Tyrant veered and shot St. Celestine and even though it had Jinked, it managed to land SIX shots into her and even her mighty blessed armor found it too much, as she tripped and fell, nearly slain, coughing and sputtering, her grievous wounds nigh mortal. Making matters worse, the Gene Stealers that had been lurking to the East like maleficent fiends manifested themselves, threatening the Exorcist furthest north with their chittering presence. The 2nd Exorcist, behind it, found two Lictors on its rear which had snuck from the muck, shooting the back end of it. They would have killed it but... a force, like the invisible hand of the Emperor himself came to its aid. It was forced into immobility, its tracks broken and its gun mangled and unusable despite a healthy supply of ammunition within. nonetheless, The Shield of Faith had saved it from destruction. Emperor be praised. Round 3 Angry at the sight of the affront to St. Celestine, the second Adepta Sororitas unit roared forth in their rhino, disgorging and readying for battle in the Sougheast. The Storm Bolter atop the Holy Rhino tore angrily into the first Lictor, spinning it in place and distracting it from its prey, while the Sisters of Battle let loose their cleansing absolution for the second one, setting it ablaze in a sizzling pile of judgement. The sisters of battle to the southwest alighted and shot into the Termagaunts, ylling prayers to the Emperor as they moved. The northerly Exorcist realized its peril and let loose into the oncoming Genestealers, killing several, but despite the best efforts of its gunners, one remained. St. Celestine, an example to us all, rose, spitting blood and popping her ribs into place then powered towards the little spawns that had offended her, as the hand of inevitability does. Their uncomprehending minds were engulfed in the eternal embrace of her swords flames and then she cut into the lot of them, returning them to the primordial ooze state they enjoyed inside their recent womb. She pointed her sword at their mother as if to say "you're next". The Hive Tyrant veered in the skies again and collected its Psychic might, but its rage overrode its control over the warp and the Warp responded, consuming the Tyrant in midair, no doubt causing its lance beam to miss badly as it screamed its last helplessly. The lone Lictor charged the Sisters of Battle to the Southeast seing that the Exorcist was little more than a broken toy, but got annihilated like its confederate for its troubles in flaming overwatch fires. The Genetealer slashed with vicious claws at the northerly Exorcist but could not rend it into submission. A Ripper Swarm Deepstruck into a ruin in the southeast quadrant near the Easternmost Objective. The monstrous Tervigon again vomited a mass of Termagaunts onto the table and they streaked towards the central objctive while the Tervigon itself turned its baleful eyes on St' Celestines outstretched blade, charging her, but St. Celestine was fastest, slashing the bast across its nose and wounding it. Round 4 The Southeastern Sisters of Battle trekked forward towards the Ripper Swarms in the building and shot them but they went to ground and suffered but two wounds from the effort. The Exorcist finished the Genestealer in front of it, while moving to claim the Eastern Objective, leaving the eastern flank nearly free of enemies. The Sisters of Battle to the west pushed their Rhino onto the western objective while shooting at yet another mass of released Termagaunts but they felt no pain for some reason and resisted well o they charged and smashed into the Termagaunts. At this time, the Exorcist held the Eastern Objective, no one held the Center and the left was now contested by Termagaunts and Sisters of battle plus their Rhino. The Tyranids Deep Struck another ripper Swarm near the Central objective. FIFTEEN more Termagaunst spawned from the Tervigon and the other Termagaunts streamed forward to try and take the central objective and shot the sisters of Battle, killing one, who bravely threw herself like a true Martyr in front of her commander. St Celestine used the moment of distraction to smite the thing again, but it would be hr last action, as it tore her in half, adding her to its biomass. Turn 5 The eastern Rhino tank shocked the Ripper swarm and forced them to run from the central objective. The Sisters of battle on that same side fired on and rushed the other Rippers to begin the cleansing. The Rhino now controlled the Central Objective, the Exorcist controlled the Eastern objective. That left the Sisters of Battle and their Rhino to deal with the Termagaunts on the Western Objective and so they finished the Termagaunts off. The Sisters of Battle in the ruin wrecked the Rippers but couldn't consolidate QUITE far enough to protect the Eastern Objective (missed it by an inch). The Tervigon spewed three more gaunts onto the western objective in an attempt to save it, and then in a desperate attempt to clear the objective itself, charged the offending Rhino that guarded the valuable but sabotaged object of its desires. It hit with all its attacks but despite this, the Shield of Faith saved the Rhino! Not only that but the objective, being sabotaged as all of them were, exploded killing the three gaunts it had just created and damaging the Rhinos final hull point! BUT once AGAIN... The Shield of Faith protected it! TWICE in the same round did the faith of the Rhinos crew get tested and twice didst the Emperors hand stay calamity! The western objective therefore now belonged to the Sisters of Battle! The Tyranid Termagaunts ran and needed 5" to reach and claim the Eastern objective held by the Exorcist, and made it! So at games end, the Sisters of Battle secured two of the three objectives, Acheived the special First Blood Secondary Objective (2 points) when they killed the Lictor, got LAST blood (2 points) when the Shield of Faith stopped the Rhino from blowing up while claiming the Termagaunts, and fed the Warlord to the Warp (1). The Tyranids claimed the Eastern Objective (3 points because obsec vs the Exorcist) and also got St Celestine (1) Final core: 11-4 Adepta Sororitas victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
